 As far from "Pro" as you can get April 14, 2008

I purchased this chainsaw for my landscaping business because the recent storms in Georgia caused many fallen trees in my clients' yards. It's supposedly a "professional grade" chainsaw, but the blade dulled after 3 sections of a tree were cut! I followed all the instructions, put the right gas and oil in it, and started it correctly. It cut the first section like butter, but after that, it got slower and slower until eventually it just started burning the wood instead of cutting it.
I definitely wouldn't recommend this chainsaw to anyone, no matter what job needs to be done. I returned it to the store and bought a Homelite 18'' chainsaw from Home Depot. It's the same price as the Poulon Pro, but it works SO much better!

Purchased this saw with some reservations, opened the box and what a fabulous product, three pulls and the saw started and within 20 minutes first product was completed...over the next two weeks no problems and the last of the trees were down....would highly recommend this product for the use around the yard....

I recently purchased this saw for light duty work around the house. I'll use it for pruning and maybe some fire wood work.
This saw was packaged well and came fully assembled. The instructions cover most aspects of care and also provide guidence on how to safely use the machine.
I filled the saw with fuel and synthetic 2 stroke oil (provided) following the instructions. The engine started easily and ran well with very little smoke.
The only negetives that I might mention are the lack of inital bar oil and no mention of fuel capacity. I had to go to the store to purchase bar oil even though a first batch of 2 stroke oil was provided. Also, a whole gallon of fuel needs to be mixed with two stroke oil since the tank capacity is unknown. Other than these minor issues this is a very good machine that should last for years.
Awesome for yard trimming and/or firewood June 12, 2007

If you are looking for a chain shaw for around the yard and cutting firewood, this is the real deal. It's small, light, easy to use, and has plenty of power to cut down trees when necessary. I bought it to clear out about eight 30-foot trees to install a fence, and that was a snap. A lumberjack might consider it to be lightweight, but that was what I was looking for.

The saw starts and runs well, cuts well, and that is what I wanted. I have owned Poulan and Craftsman saws, still do, and for me, at least, I can depend on them to start, run and cut. The only hitch was delivery: UPS delivered it in the country, 5 miles from my home - thank goodness the recipient was honest and called me. Larry Gillingham
